Chapter 38

"Run! RUN!" Seamus yelled once you stepped outside the common room. Two hooded wizards were following a panicked Seamus, their wands piercing through the air in front of them. 

You pushed Ron back inside the common room and dragged Seamus behind you. You shut the door on the two figures who missed the entrance by an inch. Ron helped you close the door, and with his quick thinking, Seamus cast a spell to shut the door locked so no intruders could enter. 

"Bloody hell, what was that?" Ron asked, wiping the sweat off his forehead. 

"Hold on," you butted in, paying close attention to see if there was any movement in the hallway. "Mulatto," you whispered, feeling reassured that the conversation was not going to be heard by anyone else. 

"Did you not hear? They are here." 

"Who is?" You asked. 

"Well, his supporters," Seamus replied, furrowing his eyebrows inquisitively. The terror everyone has been feeling makes him very suspicious as to whether his eyes are deceiving him. "Are you really Y/n?" He backed up, looking at Ron. "And are you Ron? What's going on?" 

"Yes, Seamus, we promise we are Ron and Y/n. Now, what has happened? I swear we were gone for five minutes, tops." You looked at Ron, who was just as confused as you were. 

Seamus' face darkened. "Oh, lads, he's coming. He knows that Harry is finding something. We are preparing to defend the castle from him just in case he comes here. The Order came, and everyone was preparing to fight. We were told that if we didn't want to stay, we should leave... Have you seen what is happening outside?" 

You sighed deeply in absolute defeat. Ron scurried towards the open space on the wall where a window used to be just moments before. "What is all that?" Ron pointed towards the night sky, where wisps of black swarmed all over the wind. 

"There are rumors that You-Know-Who is going to come himself. We have to protect Harry before he gets him." Seamus grabbed his wand again and headed towards the door. 

"Do you have any idea where they could be?" You asked, following Seamus with your eyes. Ron could not remove his gaze from the horrifying view that he was watching on the sky. The black and the cloaks were like the black jellyfish that filled the blue ocean of the sky; his stomach felt uneasy. 

Seamus scratched the backside of his neck. "The last time I saw Harry and Hermione was right before they told me they were going to that one chamber where Ginny was possessed. I forgot where it is at." 

"I remember," Ron replied, putting his sleeves up. "Let's go, Y/n; we need to find them." 

"What should I do?" Seamus asked, looking at you for guidance. 

The pressure to help him was overwhelming. The stress of helping Harry and Hermione, the fear of putting Ron and others in danger, the worry over your parents, the anxiety over what is going to happen to you once Hermione's spell wears off... All of this circled in your head, trapping you in the eye of the hurricane of worry. 

"Help others prepare to fight and if they want to leave, help them leave," Ron butted in, holding onto your shoulders. "Me and Y/n will find Harry as soon as possible and help them find those bloody Horcruxes." 

"Horcruxes? What is that?" 

Your eyes flashed to Ron. "Erm..." 

Seamus, seeing how uncomfortable everything has gotten, said, "It's alright, mate. I do not need to know. I wish you both luck with everything, after this, we need to go to the pub. I miss having a time with you both. See ya! Be safe!"
